ANMELDENTHEA"Huh?" Stent sounded genuinely surprised.I almost sighed in relief.Finally.I didn't care why Rowan had decided to end the meeting. I didn't care if the men had important things left to discuss or if they would have to wait until the next day.I just wanted to get out of this dominating damn space.However, the relief didn't last long."But we haven't even completed it," one of the men protested.Rowan's head turned towards him. "I said this damn meeting has ended!" he yelled. "Until the next one, you all can leave."Silence followed.Nobody dared to speak for a moment.I watched the men exchange glances, their expressions showing that none of them had expected Rowan to lose his temper like this. Even Stent seemed to have decided that whatever else he wanted to say could wait.Of course, Rowan couldn't be questioned. He was the head Alpha, and everyone in that room knew better than to challenge him when he was in a mood like this.Still, I couldn't help wondering what had made
THEAI wanted to leave the room immediately. After all, that was what I had been called for in the first place, but the men carried on with the meeting as if I wasn't sitting among them anymore.I could have stood up and walked out, but that would only make me look like a disrespectful intern who didn't know her place.So I stayed in my seat, keeping my eyes on my hands.I could feel Rowan's gaze on me. It was like I could sense every time his eyes moved in my direction, even without looking at him. The connection between us made it impossible to pretend he wasn't there, especially when every part of me was still aware of him.But I refused to look up.I couldn't, not after what he had just done.He denied us in front of everyone. He made it clear that I was nothing more than an intern at his company.And now I was supposed to sit here as if none of it had happened?I pressed my fingers together beneath the table, trying to keep myself calm. My wolf wasn't helping either. She had bee
THEAAn hour and thirty minutes had passed, and even though the staring from the people had reduced, my heartbeat didn't reduce, and I intentionally waited till after thirty minutes because I was scared of the people I would meet and what they would ask me. At first, I thought it had been cancelled, a small, desperate flicker of hope trying to bargain with my fear, but then Rosa sent someone to remind me that they were waiting for me.Moon! I should've reached there before everyone else, and now I was going to face them; I was going to enter the den of wolves.I braved myself; my steps were careful along the way to the room, each footstep feeling like I was walking through wet concrete. When I reached the entrance, I stopped for a second before I opened the door and entered.All heads turned to me, pairs of sharp, piercing eyes pinning me to the floor like an insect under a microscope. My eyes met some people before they landed on Rowan, who was sitting at the head of the table sin
THEAOmar opened his mouth to answer, but... Before he could, a lady of my age came towards us, interrupting him. She was already an employee; I was still an intern, though it remained two months until I would know my fate, whether I would continue working here after my internship ended.I doubted that with everything happening around me."Thea, thank the moon you've arrived; your attention is needed." She got my attention immediately, and I looked at her, my shoulders stiffening under the gray cotton of my blouse."At the boss's office, right?" I asked, calling Rowan boss feels weird, the title sticking to the roof of my mouth like dry bread.She shook her head, her blonde hair swishing against her collarbone. "No, at Rosa's office. I hope you know the way, right?"I was a bit surprised because I hadn't gone to see her there before, my feet lingering on the floor, but then I quickly nodded my head. "Yes, I know her office."The lady nodded, her eyes darting away toward the rows of cu
THEAFive days had passed since the incident.The gossip had died down too.During those five days, I didn't see Liana come to my department. She didn't try to threaten me, fight me, or even send anyone to bother me.I guessed her father had warned her, and thinking about Rowan made my chest feel warm. He hadn't come to my house during those five days either.We saw each other at the office, sometimes passing each other in the hallway or meeting briefly, but that was all.I wanted more.I wanted to know what it felt like to have him around me outside the office. I wanted to experience how we used to be when there was no one watching us, when he wasn't the Alpha, and I wasn't just an omega working in his company.I wanted us to be romantic around each other, but I understood that it might not happen at the moment.At least there was peace.That was what I thought... Until I reached the company this morning. The moment I entered through the main entrance, I noticed the looks.People wer
THEAShe raised the injection and... pushed it into one of his arms.For a second, nothing happened. Then Rowan's whole body froze. His fingers tightened against the couch, his chest stopped moving for a moment before he suddenly took a deep breath. His eyes opened, and he blinked several times.Sweat covered his forehead. He looked around the room, his eyes moving from Rosa to me. His face was confused at first, but that quickly changed. His jaw tightened. "Thea, Rosa... Tell me exactly what happened?" His voice was low, but I could hear the anger underneath it. It wasn't the kind of anger that came from confusion. It was the kind that came when a werewolf finally remembered that someone had crossed a line.I stepped closer to him before Rosa could answer. "She hexed you." His eyes immediately sharpened.I didn't need to mention her name. He knew exactly who I was talking about. I walked toward him, and the moment I got close enough, his hand reached for me. He pulled me onto his lap
THEAA week.It had been a full week since I moved into my best friend’s house. A week since I had that encounter with her dad... since I’d been on my knees in his room, tasting him, losing myself in the sheer, overwhelming size of him.And since then? He had become a ghost.Rowan started hiding
ROWANBeing home today felt like the best thing that had ever happened to me, but it was also the scariest.When my daughter and her best friend walked into the house, I sensed them right away. Something about her friend hit me hard. Her scent drifted toward me, faint because she was an omega, but
THEAHe didn't wait for an answer... He pushed forward, sliding into my mouth. I gasped, a muffled sound of surprise, and immediately began to choke."I knew it. You can't take more than this," he smirked, though his voice was thick with need. He started to move his hips, a slow, punishing drive t
THEA"Will you stop crying, for Moon’s sake?"Liana’s voice cut through the car, sharp and loud, her hands were tight on the steering wheel, her knuckles pale, her eyes fixed on the road ahead.I tried. I really did.But the tears wouldn’t listen.They kept falling, hot and stubborn, blurring the p
